wow i've noticed a lot of electrical problems under tech talk lately. this is how dreadful nissan has put our electrical situations to... =(

i think i found the problem. when i hit the windshield wiper up and down with the key on the on postion, the rpm needle bounces! whoa! wth. with the car on and on the street, before i begin to get the car in motion, i hit the windshield wiper, and the car stops as if the ecu had burned out (it's not burnt though, i've done this several times). could the tachometer actually shut down the car if it is being shorted by a the windshield wiper (and vise versa)?

i want to also note if the SMJ is somewhat related here
